Description Björn 'besser82' Esser 2013-09-04 08:12:07 UTC
Description:

  NLopt is a library for nonlinear local and global optimization, for
  functions with and without gradient information.  It is designed as
  as simple, unified interface and packaging of several free/open-source
  nonlinear optimization libraries.

  It features bindings for GNU Guile, Octave and Python.  This build has
  been made with C++-support enabled.


Koji Builds:

  el5:  no el5 build for this, swig is far too old.
  el6:  no el6 build for this, numpy is far too old.

Additional Information:

  This is my first package featuring GNU Guile and Octave stuff, so someone
  who has deeper knowlegde in this should have look at it, too.  :)

Thanks for review in advance!

Comment 1 Matthias Runge 2013-09-05 08:55:52 UTC
Since this is a collection of libraries with different licenses/copyrights,
we'd at least need a license breakdown here. 

In my opinion, using macros that much makes the spec slightly unreadable. But that's personal preference.

There are a few issues, but you should be able to fix them on import.  Thanks!

[!]: Package consistently uses macros (instead of hard-coded directory names).

   * the %preun for octave-NLOpt should use %{_datadir} instead of /usr/share

---> I replaced the /usr/share/octave/...  with %{octpkgdir}, inside the
     %pre*/post*-scripts.  That should do the trick.


[!]: Uses parallel make %{?_smp_mflags} macro.

   * why is this disabled?

---> There's some race-condition though target in Makefile seem to be OK.
     I'll try to resolve that with upstream for next release.


[!]: Package should not use obsolete m4 macros
  
   * If you can sacrifice EPEL 5/6 compatibility, suggest replacing
     AM_LIBTOOL with LT_INIT

---> no need to sacrifice any compat.  :)  This is already done in %prep:
     # Get rid of obsoleted autotools-macros for el6+.
     %{?!el5:sed -i -e 's!^AC_PROG_LIBTOOL!LT_INIT!g' configure.ac}


NLopt.src: E: specfile-error Must specify package names on the command line

---> This was caused by odering of some %global.  I reordered them and all
     is fine, now.


I fixed that in place, see above spec/srpm links.  :)  Thanks again for the review, Will.
